Begonias and reefs glanced at each other, each with their own guesses.

Haijiao thinks that this may be Mrs. Gui's whimsy, and there may not be any basis, it is just a dream.

Haitang thinks that Mrs. Gui may not be without basis. The royal family of this dynasty values the sons-in-law, and when the prince is established, there has always been a grandson, and there is no grandson. It is not uncommon for an emperor like Emperor Deguang to favor the son of a favorite concubine, but he is so partial that he does not care about the lives of his wife and concubine, and this is the only case.

However, now that the son of Sun Guifei is dead, the prince supported by the Sun family has already been succeeded, if Empress Wu really left a little prince, the middle palace will come out, and the old life of Wu Men has returned to the center of power, and the emperor is reluctant to allow the prince of Ji to return to the sect...... With this kind of pre-emptive feelings, as long as the courtiers who are not on Sun Gelao's side, they should all support the succession of the son of Empress Wu.

Although the eighth prince is good, he is too young, and his biological mother's background is also lower. There was no reason why the courtiers would support him if they had a better choice.

The prince left by Empress Wu does have a good chance of winning.

But in reality, is it really that simple?

The emperor has not disclosed the existence of this prince so far. According to the memories of Haijiao's previous life, until the eighth prince succeeded to the throne and grew up to the age of pro-government, the world did not know that Emperor Deguang still had a prince alive. The battle for the throne has always been between the eighth prince and the prince of Ji, and there is nothing else to do at all.

And a prince, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, how many people may support him, as long as the world does not know his existence and the royal family does not recognize his identity, then everything is in vain. Since he was born, he has been hidden from the world. Now it suddenly came out and said that it was the son of the prince born to Empress Wu, without the emperor's recognition, who would believe it? Even if the Queen Mother comes forward, the Sun family and the clan will stumble.

Haitang sighed: "I think that Empress Dowager Zhou took the risk of raising this little prince, and she shouldn't have no plan." Even if she was worried that Sun Guifei might harm him, she would also think carefully about the future of the little prince. Otherwise, if you keep hiding people in Cining Palace, and wait until the Queen Mother dies of old age, what should the little prince do? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou originally sent someone to bring Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter into the palace, probably to use Wu Qiong to cover the little prince - as long as there is a baby in Cining Palace, no one will be surprised by the baby's crying.

Whether it was the little prince or the Wu family, the Empress Dowager Zhou only asked the most trusted old lady doctor to diagnose their pulse. After the old lady doctor died, she asked the people of the Xu Palace to teach themselves medical skills, and used the plants in the Cining Palace as much as possible to ensure that the little prince and the Wu family could be treated when they were sick, and they did not need to contact too many outsiders.

Hai Jiao thoughtfully: "Yes, Empress Dowager Zhou is very careful in these things. I don't know who taught the little prince to read, but my cousin tried Wu Ke's knowledge and said that he had fallen behind too much homework, but the foundation was okay, which shows that the teacher who taught him and the little prince was indeed talented. Empress Dowager Zhou arranged the life and study of the little prince so carefully, and obviously had expectations for him. ”

Haitang blinked: "The one who enlightened Wu Ke and the little prince may be a female official in the palace who has accumulated years." There are also very learned people among the female officials, but they are not known to the world. ”

Haijiao didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the female officials in the palace: "Emperor Deguang ignored the death of Empress Wu and the three princes, and was bent on enrolling the six princes born to Sun Guifei as the prince. At that time, the Empress Dowager Zhou probably didn't trust him either, and didn't dare to tell him the news that the little prince was alive. Although she asked people to teach the little prince to read, she didn't really expect him to inherit the throne, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to find a way to send the little prince out of the palace and let the Chengenhou Mansion raise him, and ask the great Confucian to enlighten the little prince? No matter how knowledgeable a female official is, she can't compare to a famous Confucian......"

Haitang looked at his brother speechlessly, turned his head and said: "If there is really no way to defeat Sun Guifei, when the little prince grows up, the Empress Dowager Zhou should think of sending him out of the palace." With the Chengenhou Mansion taking care of him outside the palace, the little prince can live a stable and prosperous life even if he can't disclose his identity. He has been incognito for many years, but it is a good thing. The Sun family didn't know about his existence, so they wouldn't harm him. ”

Haijiao sighed: "Maybe the Queen Mother has all imagined it, but as soon as the sixth prince dies, things will be messed up!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou did not reveal the existence of the prince to the emperor at first, but after the death of the sixth prince, she must inform the emperor, and she can't really let the prince of Ji return to the sect, right? However, it was the maid next to the prince who killed the six princes, what did the emperor think?

If he was really ill at that time, for the sake of the overall situation, he might still announce the news of the prince and make him the prince. But when he recovered, he had more options.

He accepted a new concubine and gave birth to a young son, but he refused to disclose the existence of the prince anyway. Even if the Empress Dowager Zhou once opposed him to accept the people of the palace, she couldn't resist him in the end, so she could only accept his decision.

Haijiao couldn't help but sigh: "How do I feel...... The pomegranate flower killed the six princes, but instead pitted the little master? The emperor refused to even disclose the existence of this prince, it was clear that he had given up on him! ”

Although the sixth prince will not die, and the prince will not have a bright future, once Sun Guifei knows his existence, she will never let him live, but as long as the emperor and the queen mother have the heart to protect him, he is still expected to live a few more years. No one knows whether the six princes will be able to grow up and succeed to the throne smoothly, as long as the prince lives, there will be hope in the future.

But the pomegranate flower killed the six princes, and the prince became the only seedling under the emperor's knees, but the emperor would rather have another son than admit him, he didn't even have any hope.

is obviously a noble prince from the middle palace, but now he is so bad that he is not as good as the prince from the palace. I don't know if there is the name of this prince on the royal jade?

Haitang thinks that this matter is not all the responsibility of the pomegranate flower, hasn't Mrs. Gui been stirring the pomegranate flower? If it weren't for her repeated instigation, how could Pomegranate Flower commit assassination?

Haijiao sighed: "It is indeed the responsibility of Madame...... Didn't she say before that she knew she was too impulsive? But instead of regretting what she had done wrong, she complained that the Queen Mother was hiding the truth from her......"

Empress Dowager Zhou obviously knew that Mrs. Gui was unreliable, so she didn't tell her about the existence of the prince from the beginning. Mrs. Gui instigated Pomegranate Flower to kill the six princes in a daze, although she gave her enemy Sun Guifei a heavy blow, but she also exposed herself.

It is also possible to expose the existence of the prince to Sun Guifei.

The death of the sixth prince made Sun Guifei set his sights on Cining Palace. Once she discovers the existence of the prince, the consequences are unimaginable. The Queen Mother sent the Wu family out of the palace, probably because she wanted them to divert Sun Guifei's attention and cover the prince.

On the surface, the queen mother's statement was to send the Wu family away, so that they would not be harmed by Sun Guifei, but in fact, if the Wu family stayed in Cining Palace, the emperor and Sun Guifei could not easily break into the palace and kill people. When they moved to the Chengenhou Mansion, if no one knew about it, once the Sun family knew about it, whether they sent someone to assassinate them or asked for death, the Chengenhou Mansion would not be able to protect them.

In order to keep the prince, the Empress Dowager Zhou chose to sacrifice the Wu family.

Mrs. Gui may not be able to see the Queen Mother's intentions, so she will complain more. And if she wants to leave the palace obediently and honestly hide in the Chengenhou Mansion to live, the Queen Mother must come up with enough bargaining chips. I think it was at this time that she only knew about the existence of the prince, right? Maybe the Queen Mother also painted a big cake for Mrs. Gui, saying that in the future, when the prince succeeds to the throne, how will the Wu family be rich and honorable.

Is it for this reason that Mrs. Gui is convinced of the succession of the prince?

But no matter what she thinks, the emperor has been unwilling to disclose the existence of the prince for many years, but is bent on sending the eighth prince to the position of prince, which has indicated that her dream will eventually come to naught.

Does Mrs. Gui feel that the Eighth Prince is in the way because of this?
